Who Are You Voting For?

You're waiting for your new identification for a period of time and it all has to be cleared and approved so you can vote. I don't think many people trying to start a new life wants to rush into it or "revert" just for the sake of a vote?

"JUST FOR THE SAKE OF A VOTE"

The whole concept of Chic being able to change her name is thank to people who actually took the time to vote and accomplish one of the most basic yet necessery citizen's duty.

People have their reasons, I think not rushing your transition or disrupting it is a fair one. You can try and tell her she's wrong but she's within her right to do what she wants and I think people should respect that.

People are born with rights indeed, not with ethics which is unfortunate.

What's embarrasing is that you don't do your vote duty. And the name change isn't a valid reason. You could have done change later 

What's embarrassing is your judgement over so little information regarding me. How dare you, first of all? I got the change done as soon as I possibly could because it was necessary for me. I didn't want to have any job under my old name, because that could have affected my possibility of employment for LIFE. You can't get through life without a job, and I wanted no proof of my prior status as a male to appear on any document.

I'm still undecided regarding my vote. Is that okay to you? I was going to vote for Bernie Sanders, but Hillary's corruption and Trump's anti-LGBT policies have me in an extremely tight spot and now that Bernie's gone, it's whatever. The sooner I get my documents sorted out (which should be before whoever gets elected is sworn into office), the less of a chance I have of being discriminated by any of those laws. I have my own personal views that put me in the middle of each candidate, so excuse me for being undecided. I think they're both complete jokes and I can't be bothered to vote for what some random internet stranger says I should, or what my family would pressure me into. So no thank you. I would have been SO proud to vote for President Sanders. If I can still vote, I'll see what I can do.

Yeah but how is the transition relevant in any way to voting? Nobody will read that ballot  

It's a completely personal thing. I do not want my old name ANYWHERE. If you knew the level of corruption and paranoia that exists in the trans community due to people seeking out the personal information of stealth transwomen, you would feel the same way I do. Attach the dysphoria of even having to look at my old name, and it's ****ing horrible. You wouldn't understand that, nobody that isn't trans would understand that. It's an utter embarrassment and I don't care if it's written on the smallest piece of paper thrown down a subway grate. Registering my old name to vote is something I have never felt comfortable with.

I'm not saying you don't have your reasons But consider all of these awful things your transition made you go through, all because of trans discrimination. Doesn't that make you really want to vote for the candidate who will NOT discriminate against young people like you who are still struggling? I'm sure it's hard for you but it'll be harder to those who are like you if Trump ends up winning, especially that the votes are sooo close

Woot! Go, Jill! Once the Green party earns 5% of the popular vote, they'll be receive millions of dollars in federal funding for the next election cycle. Real change is coming!

I wonder why no one wants to vote for Gary or any other independent, even if you think they won't win, at least you have some integrity and you can sleep at night knowing you didn't vote for Clinton or Trump

Because the idea that they are equally horrible (or that Trump is "a little better") is a complete ****ing lie; also, Gary and Jill have tons of flaws too, we just arent reporting on them
